Windows search function has been used, sometimes I can't think of a file where to put it, then give the search function to help. However, basically our use of the search function is limited to occasionally finding a file, this is the case in the XP era, and so is Win7. But in the upcoming Win8 era, this phenomenon is likely to change, because the search function in Windows 8 adds a lot of new uses and is no longer limited to searching for files.
